Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Reactivation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) leads to significant morbidity and mortality following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Letermovir (LTV) has substantially reduced the risk of clinically significant CMV infection (csCMVi) in CMV seropositive recipients of allo-HSCT. LTV discontinuation after day 100 (d100) has been reported to increase the risk of late-onset csCMVi, causing by impaired reconstitution of CMV-specific T immunity. The investigator sought to decrease the probability of CS-CMVi after letermovir withdrawal. Restoration of CMV-specific T cells is imperative for effective control of CMV reactivation following allo-HSCT. Letermovir has been found impending recovery of CMV-specific T immunity. The investigators' retrospective study has proved that lower CMV-specific CD4+ T cells (<2.01 cells/µL) at week 8 increased the risk of late-onset CMV reactivation (50.0%) compared to the higher ones (7.69%, p=0.04) in letermovir prophylaxis. Thus, the guidance of CMV-specific cell immunity is recommended in letermovir prophylaxis.

Therefore, the investigator conduct a multicenter, randomized, controlled study based on retrospective research to further explore and validate the efficacy of CMV-specific T cell immunity test guiding the prolonged usage of letermovir.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Incidence of late-onset clinical significant CMV (cs-CMV) infection
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Incidence of late-onset clinical significant CMV (cs-CMV) infection

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
